Chapter 229 The Consequence of Gluttony
Tom seemed to be the same.
Shawn had an idea. He said, "Let's eat all of it tonight and let them find out tomorrow. It'll drive them crazy." Shawn proudly took the bag of Spicy Chicken Ramen to the kitchen. In Vera's bedroom, half an hour later, Patrick indeed returned.
Patrick went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he got back to bed and was about to read, he suddenly felt a smooth leg on his.
Patrick looked down at Vera, who was propping her face with her hand and seductively smiling at him. He said, "Vera, this is dangerous."
Vera shook her head with a mischievous smile. "Honey, it's you who's in danger, not me."
After all, Vera was on her period now.
However, because of her, Patrick lost interest in reading.
"Vera, remember your good days this month are almost over." Patrick turned and pinned Vera beneath him, his arm propped above her head, kindly advising, "You need to think about the days ahead." Vera wrapped her arms around Patrick's neck, using her strength to lift herself and kiss him.
Patrick's kisses were nibbling and teasing.
Vera's kisses were like a tart apple, just a light peck, not lingering at all, but deeply captivating Patrick's heart.
"I don't care about the days ahead. If you have the guts, hit me."
Patrick bit his tongue, looking at the innocent Vera beneath him. "Vera, you don't have many days left to be reckless."
With that, Patrick quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
Vera rolled on the bed happily.
Soon, when Patrick came out, Vera had a foreboding feeling.
"Honey, are you going to hit me? Why do I have a foreboding feeling?"
Patrick, having taken a cold shower, looked at Vera on the bed. "I can deal with you a few days later. Maybe you can foresee the future."
Vera felt a bit scared. Could it be that she was really doomed in a few days?
Vera looked at Patrick lying on the bed, wondering, 'If I behave well these days, will I avoid disaster?'
After lying down, Vera snuggled into Patrick's arms.
Patrick snorted disdainfully. Was she starting to please him?
Patrick and Vera hadn't fallen asleep yet when they heard a few urgent knocks on the door. "Mrs. Vera Olteran, are you awake?" Vera's eyes snapped open like a switch.
Vera looked at Patrick. "Did you hear someone calling me?"
Patrick recognized Tom's urgency. He got out of bed. "I guess Dad is seriously ill again, or Tom wouldn't be so panicked."
When Vera heard that Shawn might be ill, she jumped out of bed, put her shoes on the wrong feet, and ran to the door.
Vera asked, "Tom, What's wrong with Shawn?"
Tom's face was red, and so were his lips. He replied, "Mrs. Vera Olteran, you should go to the dining room and see Mr. Shawn Olteran."
Vera and Patrick quickly went downstairs, and Tom hurried to find Molly.
The commotion woke up the entire Olteran family.
In the dining room, Vera saw everything on the table.
A plate with half-eaten spicy chicken ramen and the noodles fiery red and oily, looking extremely spicy.
At this moment, Shawn had eaten half of it.
There was another plate with only a few bites taken.
However, four bottles of milk were knocked over on the table.
Shawn's tears and snot were almost blending together.
Soon, Randall and Molly also arrived.
Shawn took a deep breath, looking at the them. He pointed at the Spicy Chicken Ramen on the table and asked Vera and Molly, "Vera, Molly, did you buy this poison? Who are you trying to kill? I'm almost dead from the spiciness." Vera stopped in her tracks, looking at the five empty packages on the table.
Molly was also frozen in place, her mouth agape.
Randall saw the packaging and said, "Grandpa, this is Spicy Chicken Ramen."
Shawn, crying, took another sip of milk. "Is this poison?"
His lips were already swollen.
Vera felt a piercing gaze on her from above.
Vera didn't dare to look up and meet Patrick's eyes.
Someone else, sensing the situation was bad, quietly retreated and disappeared.
Molly immediately took out her phone to call Sebastian, "Sebastian, help."
Sebastian replied, "Aren't you at the Olteran family? What do you need help with now?"
"Come pick me up," Molly spoke urgently.
Fortunately, Sebastian was on the night shift again today. He got up and hurried out, not knowing what had happened to Molly.
Shawn noticed Molly trying to escape. "Molly, where are you going?"
Molly said, "I'll be back in a bit." With that, she ran off.
Inside, everyone turned their gaze to the girl with her head down, Vera.
Shawn kept drinking milk, one sip after another. His lips were even more swollen than before, looking like they had been plumped. Vera hadn't expected Shawn to find the Spicy Chicken Ramen and dare to eat it without knowing what it was.
"Patrick, Shawn's lips are numb."
Vera lowered her head even more.
Patrick immediately ordered someone to get ice from the fridge for Shawn to apply to his lips.
Since Vera caused the trouble, her husband Patrick had to clean up the mess.
Patrick took Shawn to the living room.
Vincent and Cindy also appeared in their pajamas. "Dad, what happened to you?"
Tom also applied an ice pack around his mouth.
"What is this?" Cindy was puzzled. They were fine before bed, but now they looked like they had been beaten, with tears, red faces, and swollen lips. Patrick said, "Vera, get some water."
Vera immediately ran to get water.
She obediently placed it on the table, then stood up and nervously stepped back.
She knew this was the calm before the storm.
Patrick picked up a glass and had Shawn drink it first.
Randall walked over to Vera and whispered, "You two bought it, right?"
Vera bit her lip and nodded.
Randall said, "I thought so. Every time you two are on break, you celebrate with it. But why did you hide it in my grandpa's bedroom?"
Vera replied, "Afraid he'd sneak eat it at night."
They didn't know they hid it in the wrong place.
Shawn not only found it but also ate it.
Randall complained, "Are you two out of your minds?"
Vera retorted, "Shut up. Go check on Molly. She went out without a coat."
Outside, Sebastian soon arrived in his car.
Sebastian saw Molly shivering in the cold.
Sebastian quickly ran over, took off his coat, and draped it over Molly's shoulders. "What's going on?" he asked worriedly, thinking something had happened to Molly. Molly's fingers were ice-cold as she grabbed Sebastian's hand. "Sebastian, come inside with me to admit a mistake. I'm afraid of getting beaten without you by my side."
Sebastian asked, "What did you do?"
Molly replied, "I think I caused trouble."
